About Me

Hello! I’m Andrew Thomas.
CTO for Intelligent Reach. I love all things tech and have been developing software since I was a kid, getting hooked on C++ with a (now very old) 8086 PC. My other passions include my kids, skiing, the beach, and brewing/drinking beer.
Oh, and I really don't like talking about myself, so building this site was a bit of a struggle.
